Festival of Speed Sunday
« on: June 26, 2003, 10:07:27 am »
Anybody going to FOS on Sunday?
It would be good to meet up with everbody on home turf.
Not been before so suggestions on meet point (ie bar) would be appreciated.

Rob Barff will be there driving one of the LM TVRs (which won at Castle Combe last weekend I hasten to add).
I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

Saturday for us too.

A little less crowded than the Sunday. Mind you it's 6 years since our last attendance and I've been told by a mate who has a stand there that it can get pretty busy no matter what day you go.

Gilles - are you still coming over for that weekend?
A man's got to believe in something. I believe I'll have another drink - W.C. Fields

Friday and Saturday for me, and I will still be running around like a headless chicken all weekend !
Too much to do, too many cars and stands to see, too many drivers to catch for autographs ! Arrh !

I'll be there Friday 'entertaining' clients (not sure whether to do the juggling or the monologues)

Not been before but it sounds like fun assuming it doesn't precipitate heavily..........

I shall be there on all three days, based on the Automobile Historique stand in the Trade Area, but getting out and about for interviews etc.  Yes the English translation of the current issue will be available.
I very much hope that Gilles will be there too. I shall bring my tiny weight to bear on the boss to try and make that a reality!

Congratulations for your article about Le Mans Legends...

... the french translation is quite more readable for a profane than the rest of the magazine !!!!

Hi Rhino
Is there anywhere you can get a decent cooked breakfast early(7/7.30) on Sunday morning. I know there's a Little Chef on the Chichester by pass. Are there any other options?
Cheers Barry

The Ramada Jarvis (01243 786351) is open from 7am and will take non residents , although it may be busy. It's the hotel off the roundabout at the bottom of madgwick lane, if your coming from the west you'll drive past it. Which direction you coming from?

Hi Rhino
Thanks for the tip,coming in from t'north, Hindhead, but know where the Ramada is. Probably have to use LC, as we are coming down on bikes, I doubt if the Ramada will like to see fly splattered bikers in their nice clean restaurant :o
